Tommy, a 5-month old Border Terrier puppy, recently completed 5 weeks of board training at CPT’s Eugene, Oregon location. When Tommy’s owner, Page, first contacted CPT she communicated goals of improving Tommy’s housebreaking, eliminating jumping behavior, extinguishing laundry stealing and mouthing behavior, teaching him basic on-leash obedience, and teaching him advanced off-leash obedience. One of the many terrific features of CPT’s board train program is that owners get to customize their dog’s lesson plan.

CPT’s in-home private lesson and board train programs can address many types of dog training issues and goals, including housebreaking, household manners, basic pet obedience, advanced off-leash pet obedience, and behavior modification. Moreover, each client’s plan is customized. Therefore, we focus on the issues most relevant to each dog and paramount to each dog owner. The following is a story of one of CPT’s many thousands of dog training successes.

Be sure to socialize your puppy early and often. Early socialization to people, puppies, dogs, cats, multiple floor and ground substrates, novel objects, noises, and various environments will maximize the probability that your future adult dog will become a happy and welcome member of the community.
